Le Gardois a été condamné à 4 ans de prison et écroué. Midi Libre – MiKAEL ANISSET
A 38-year-old man from Gard appeared before the Nîmes Criminal Court on January 20, 2025. He was convicted of corruption of minors and sexual assault and imprisoned.
Patrick B., a 38-year-old resident of Bouillargues, used Tik Tok and Messenger and his Pat’Patrouille account to get this distraught 10-year-old girl to undress and take sexual poses in July 2024.
Questions about little girls' panties
He returned to the attack several times, making increasingly insistent remarks, giving him orders. The father, horrified, discovered these messages and immediately alerted the police. Patrick was also a regular spectator of handball matches in Bouillargues. He was surprised by parents and supervisors while he was picking up little girls behind the hall. He played, in a way, the role of the friend, congratulating the little girls on their handball match but also asking questions about little girls' panties, making perverse remarks. One of the children who found herself alone and trapped with him in the storage room fled, claiming an urgent need to escape.

Patrick works in a company that manages ambulances. He also created a company called Pat’Patrouille, which specializes in small gardening jobs in Bouillargues. Pat’Patrouille is also a cartoon for children. Arrested by the police and placed in pre-trial detention last December, Patrick appeared before the Nîmes criminal court on January 20. He was prosecuted for serious acts of corruption of minors under the age of 15. “I was drunk to excess, another person. I don't remember, said the defendant defended by Me Anne-Sophie Turmel. There are things that are wrong in my head. I blame myself”, says the defendant who has already been convicted of sexual assault on a minor for acts in 2012, in a recreation center in Bouillargues. He was already registered in the sex offenders' file.
“All this makes you want to vomit”
“All this makes you want to vomit. He's a predator”,says Laurence Bourgeon, one of the lawyers for the civil parties. Patrick, his face hidden by long hair, barely dares to look at the parents of the little victims gathered in the room. “It's unbearable to hear you say that you don't remember anything, protests the representative of the prosecution, David Malicot. I don't believe it. You're ashamed of yourself because you know what you did.” The prosecutor requested a sentence of 4 years in prison and 10 years of socio-judicial monitoring, for the corruption of minors and sexual assault targeting one of the girls. This is the sentence handed down by the court. The Gardois is banned from appearing in Bouillargues.
Patrick is not done with justice. He is also accused of other acts of corruption of minors and solicitation of child pornography images between 2020 and 2022. He should be tried in March 2025.
